85-Year-Old Cameroon President Wins 7th Term In Office
Africa’s oldest President, Cameroon’s Paul Biya, has won a seventh term in office in polls marred by widespread irregularities and voter apathy.
85-year-old Biya won with 71.2 % of the votes cast in seven regions and only lost one, out of ten regions, the state television said in a Tweet on Monday.
Biya has been in power since 1982, and is Africa’s second longest serving leader.
